I look around and I see,feel, and hear nothing. The colors that were once so vivid are gray. Is this my future? I am to be restrained from the joy of life as so many others enjoy it. I am oblivious to all that is good? Cynical I may be but I aspire for greatness and love. Does this make me better? I am great? The past has been won, am I to lose the future now?
